Chapter 300 - Should She Undo The Magic? (1/2)

The subordinate could only stutter, ”This... this subordinate doesn't... doesn't know too! We haven't found her yet!” He had tried to search along with the rest of the hidden guards that had survived, but they found no trace of Aunt Yue. He had no choice but to make a report after that.

Without a second thought, the handsome man threw a small blade toward the kneeling subordinate and it landed on his throat. He couldn't even say a word before he fell down in a thud.

”Useless!” He threw a glance at the person beside him and said, ”Clean it up!” He was feeling disgusted at the dirty sight in front of him. He didn't need useless people!

The person beside him clapped his hands and two hidden guards appeared, they quickly cleaned the body without saying a word. Even though they pitied the dead man, it was his own fault for being useless.

The handsome man asked his right-hand man, ”Any news?”

”Not yet, Young Master.”

”Why does it take so long?!” The man started to get angry once again. Why did all of his subordinates suddenly become useless, huh? Did they want to anger him to death?!

The right-hand man started to sweat, knowing that his young master was in a bad mood. ”It seems like there's a powerful person behind her disappearance. We can't even find any trace of them. But...”

The handsome man's interest was piqued when he heard the 'but'. ”Is there something else that I need to know?”

”We found a trace. Several people had been there last night. Even though there was no trace from the burning house, there were several footsteps that led through the house the side door,” the right-hand man explained.

The quartet came in by walking, thus they left their footsteps there. One the other hand, they were pushed by Aunt Yue's power when they left the premise --- thus, they didn't leave any footsteps after that.

”Hmm...” The man started to feel calmer when he heard that. It meant that there was hope to find Aunt Yue's whereabouts. ”Do you find out their identities? How many different footsteps anyway?”

The right-hand man shook his head. ”Not yet, Young Master. However, we are working on it. This servant is pretty sure that we will find out about them soon. There were three different footsteps and judging from the size... one of them is a woman.”

The handsome man felt frustrated but he also knew that there was no use to get angry. The only thing they could do was checking out the lead. ”Go! As soon as you find something, you must quickly tell me!” The handsome man gave his order while waving his hand, gesturing to his right-hand man that he should quickly go.

After all of his subordinates were gone, he was thinking to himself. 'Two men and one woman, huh? Who are they?'

He had monitored Aunt Yue's movement for several weeks and nothing was suspicious for the past few days. The only difference that the maidservant that Uncle Qiu brought the previous day. It couldn't be said as a weird occurrence per se... After all, Uncle Qiu never brought the same servants whenever he went there.

Was this a coincidence or...?

The handsome man clapped his hands and a hidden guard appeared in a flash, ”Check out the identity of the maidservant that Uncle Qiu brought to meet Aunt Yue the previous day!”

”Yes, Young Master!” After answering, the hidden guard disappeared in a flash.
